A Hen For Izzy Pippik

A Hen For Izzy Pippik by Aubrey Davis is a wonderful story about a little girl who tries to do the right thing. Shaina finds a hen one day when it falls out of a truck. Shaina begs her mom and grandpa to let her keep it until the man in the truck, Izzy Pippik, comes back for it. They agree she can keep it but then the hen begins to lay eggs. The hen's eggs hatch and more and more chickens are living in the town. This town was not doing well because business was bad and no one could afford to buy things. When the chickens were all over town, the shop keepers began to get very angry but Shaina knew Izzy Pippik would come back.

This is a great story for kids of all ages especially elementary school aged kids. This can be used in the classroom to teach children about responsibility and the importance of communities. Parents could read this book at home to their children who are struggling with doing the right thing at home or in school. The illustrations in this book are great and could be used in an art class while learning about color and shades.
